Buddy watch in newer Polycom firmwares

Apparently, the sip.cfg file in newer firmware packages for Polycom phones do not have the presence feature enabled by default. That is why the phones do not have the buddy-watch option in the speed dial or directory.

This feature can be enabled easily by editing sip.cfg.

Change
    <feature feature.1.name="presence" feature.1.enabled="0"
to
    <feature feature.1.name="presence" feature.1.enabled="1"

The phone needs to be restarted for this change to take effect.
